The Statue to Statue 15K, the "South's Toughest 15K"

While I haven't run enough races to verify that the Birmingham Track Club's claim that its Statue to Statue 15K is indeed the South's Toughest, I have little doubt now that it's a legitimate claim. I ran the race on Saturday for the first time, and the undulating hills that rolled through Mountain Brook, from Vulcan Park to Liberty Park, were pretty brutal, particularly one, notorious steep half-mile stretch. Along with more than 400 others, I persevered to the finish. For more details and photos, follow me over...here.
